TV signal so poor, why? PLEASE HELP

I wonder why people always use the term "ghostly" to describe the Apollo 11 tv images.

Wouldn't it have been cool if Hasselblad made tvs too?

Somebody said if they ramped up the gain the pic would have been better, or give the camera to Aldrin to set up.  LOL.

on a real mission tbs would be essential in case of difficulties and for documentation.

to prevent boredom on longer missions.

And if any of you can't see the correlation between that and the TV signal, it can be only attributed to your stupid, stupid minds.

No, really? you should have written a book about it. Too bad I beat you to it.

Have the book, doesn't change my point.

What point?

Every day in studio, I make recordings that could have been better.

Every post you write could have been better.

I fail to see why you consider this worth saying.

I had an old crappy TV back in my student days which had a coathanger for an aerial, on bad days its reception made the Apollo 11 TV look like IMAX by comparison....

I think it was a conspiracy.

As the late, great Harry Nilsson stated in his awesome LP, The Point!, "A point in every direction is the same as no point at all!"

Part of the joy of having books is to be able to comprehend what is written in them. The one you allegedly have points out very clearly what happened to the signal, or did you happen to miss that entire chapter?

Allegedly is quite right.  Patrick has routinely lied about owning, and having read, books related to Apollo, when it is painfully obvious that he is simply grabbing bits that Google Books will display for him.

Unlike the prolific-but-inept liar Patrick, I actually own a copy of the book.  I am looking at it right now.
